I am able to access the external USB DVD drive if I am booted up from the HDD and can even install Windows off the external DVD, however it does not allow me to reformat the drive or to do a clean install - it is keeping all the old files and programs.Īre there any other steps I need to take to be able to boot from USB? Any help is appreciated. If I disable the HDD as a boot device and leave only the USB then it says there is no boot device available.Īlso, in the 1-time boot menu the USB is not showing as an available choice, even though it is enabled in the boot sequence menu.

However, despite that when I boot up it goes to the HDD to boot. I have gone into the BIOS and enabled USB as a boot device, and have also set it as the first device in the boot sequence, followed by the internal hard drive. The DVD drive is able to read and write, however, I am unable to boot from it. However, my internal CD/DVD drive is not working and I do not have a floppy drive, so I want to install from an external USB DVD drive. I have the original Dell Windows re-installation disks. I want to do a clean install of XP, including reformatting the drive to wipe out all existing data, programs etc.
